Lyrics -

Last year, I was told by a gentleman

"You're looking at the best years of your life, kid"

Well, I guess that they're scheduled settle in

Cause anything is better than a best like this

Now the wise men whisper in their wisdom

And they're telling me that "nothing lasts"

But I would bet that these bridges have been burning

Back before I ever struck a match (nothing lasts)

I'm not betting man, but if I was?

I would bet my bottom dollar that the world is flat

They said I'm wrong, cause I'm looking at the surface

And I'll never find a pearl like that

I wish my mother would have took us back home

When she threatened our behavior on the way to the beach

This house once echoed with the sounds of laughter

Till we shattered it's eyes and nailed boards to it's teeth

Last year I was told by a gentleman

That trust can be a neighbor to regret and mistake

We're just children in the garden of tomorrow

Playing ding dong ditch with the heavenly gates

When I was seven or eight

I would wait for the winter months

Making snow angels

Till the wings made my fingers numb

And then I'm twenty one, wishing I was twelve

Feeling like I'm forty-seven, bored to death of this living hell

Someday I'll bundle all the children up in layers

For the February blizzard blowing over Pennsylvania

And pray they never learn the lesson that I have tonight

That the moments in the photographs are never coming back to life

But the sky ain't falling, my dear, it's changing colors

They are different styles, but how do rappers like Lil Wayne and Drake (etc) manage to get so mainstream just talking about weed, banging girls, and repetitive lyrics--and then rappers like witness go unnoticed. Witness has such strong messages in his songs (not to mention skill). I don't get it.

Great comment man, I'm 23 and it's already starting to get monotonous. Listening to this song really gets to me. The entire second verse makes me want to LIVE.

this is something everyone should learn from; the best years in our lives are the ones we live between 10 and 25, before it all just become routines. live life and do things you will regret later, because it's better regretting something you have done than regretting what you didn't do. don't waste these precious years, but embrace them; embrace your friends, embrace your home town, embrace the girl you'll fall out of love with within a year, embrace adolescence. embrace your life.

I know, it's saddening, but I did only put these up recently when I noticed there was no Witness to be found on youtube, which I found to be more of a crime than just 15 views ;)
